CHINESE AND EUROPEAN
LABOR.

The rapid absorption of public
lands and the number of the unern-
ployed admonish us of the time
when this country will be over-pop-
ulated and the poor reduced 10 a
condition similar to the ill-fed
masses of the Old World. Our in
sane asylums, almshouses and prs
ons bear testimony to the fact that
Europe and Asia are flooding the
United States with the helpless and
criminal elements of their popula-
ton.
The principles of our free institu-
tions forbid any discrimination in
either political or civil rights be-
tween the people of the United
States. Those who have already
awaited themselves of our invitation
to all the world to come and enjoy
with us political and religious free
dom cannot be denied the rights of
citizenship. But just regard fer
those who are now here, and their
posterity, demands a material mod
ification of our invitation to all to
make America their home. We
have no room for paupers, crimi-
nails or servile laborers. No more
of either class must be allowed. to
land on our shores. Europe must
support her own imbeciles and pau
pers and keep her criminals at
home. individuals and corpora
tons employing labor must give
those now here a chance to sup
port themselves and families by
honest toll, and must be prohibited
from importing the cheap labor of
either Europe or Asia to supplant
our own people.
The Anarchists of alien lands
must not find shelter and protec-
ton here; they must not disturb the
peace or jeopardize the lives OF the
only free people on earth. We may
sympathize with the oppressed of
other lands, but we refuse to be the
dumping ground for criminals, i'm
beetles and paupers, although they
have been made such by Tyranny
and oppression. Let the discon-
tented of Europe agitate against
despotism. They may do some
good they may loosen the grasp of
tyrants, but we will not permit
them to use the weapons prepared
for their oppressors against Ameri-
can citizens.

Race Prejudice.

The APPEAL hopes to see the day
when newspapers will not try to re-
duce their rivals circulation by APP
pealing. to race prejudice.
The other day the Record Union
of Sacramento criticised the State
Treasurer who is a German. At
once the Bee comes to the rescue
and charges the Union with having
attacked the Treasurer because he
was a German. The man was
probably criticised because he cid
not properly perform his official du-
ties, and an American in the same
position would have been equally
criticised. 1t has reached pass in
this country that paper cannot
make the slightest allusion to a for
eigner that numbers Of other pape RS
do not rush to his defense and pose
as friend of that particular nation
atty. When an American is cut
and slashed and denounced as a
thief, perjurer and forger, no paper
rushes to his defense on the ground
that he is an American. No Won
der the foreigners want everythin &
in sight they are made SO much OF
by the American press.

there will be twenty three NauonaI Goa

matter TO reach the Capital, and with the
rapid building Of railroads it will become
constantly more and more convenient for
people 10 come here. When once here they
are iE the finest city on the continent tor
opportunities in almost any range OF hu-

finest med cal library and museum in tie

have here in the Agricultural Department,

it is sail that the custom of locking
in their rooms at night all the single

be heard screaming for deiiveraBce
until the ship went down. viii
some one explain why women should
be locked up, and in this case be

will lie the cause of changing the
